Customer Questions and Answers for Timer (3-Cycle) by Whirlpool

This 3-cycle mechanical timer controls cycle sequencing and duration in select Whirlpool appliances, restoring proper timing and automated cycle changes. It's a direct-replacement control for units with a worn or non-advancing timer. What it does:

• Advances the appliance through its programmed cycles and times each cycle interval.
• Directly controls cycle-related functions so the unit starts, changes, and ends cycles as intended.
• Common symptom: appliance stays on one cycle, won't advance, or runs continuously.
• Common symptom: cycles do not complete or the appliance fails to switch between functions.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning any service.
• Take a photo or label wiring before removing the old timer to ensure correct reconnection.
• Handle the timer and connector pins carefully to avoid damage; use proper tools.
• After installation, restore power and run a test cycle to ensure proper operation.
